Agree and like all entertainment I will decide what to spend my money on. If the roster just starts to almost completely turn over every year then I will probably consume less and less of it - not good or bad just the way it is.
Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

Teams like the K states and Oklahoma States of the world will surely put NIL deals in place. These schools aren't blue bloods but they have solid athletic programs. If ISU doesn't play NIL ball these are the programs that will remain competitive and ISU will become a power 5/6 bottom feeder. Might as well join the MAC in that scenario.
Exactly. Have a great Freshman year and then enter unrestricted free agency. Move on to the highest bidder.
This can no longer be called amateur athletics.
I was pretty confident when we saw the smoke he was gone. However, when a newspaper comes right out and says the claims are totally unfounded. It made me think. The real question is who the heck reported that with no info? They learned a good journalistic lesson this weekend.
You could have picked any other school, but you gave it away early. You shot your load all over the inside of your khakis instead of inside an actual female. But you’re used to that I suppose.
You'll also have trouble retaining coaches. I can't imagine a coach will be too keen on coming to/staying at a program that won't provide the necessary assets to be competitive.
I am very glad we have a coach that seems to want to be here long term. Instability there would be just one more thing to have to worry about.
The top of the college basketball food chain is larger than it has ever been. We are seeing more teams win conference titles in the P6 conferences. We are seeing more teams make runs to the Sweet Sixteen. We are seeing a bigger variety of teams make Final Fours. We are seeing more teams bubble up from out of the tourney to into the tourney in a year or two. This notion that NIL has shrunk the sport to a small group of uber spenders is simply not accurate.
Is he headed to KU to ride the bench with Joe Yesafu? Get some Adidas NIL money for mom and pop and all the good stuff Mr. Bill has to offer. He may never have the same success he had at Iowa State.
I'll take a wait & see approach.
The college athletics model is going to drastically change. Players getting paid is here to stay. I have no idea what the structure will be.
- Do we have university/athlete revenue sharing?
- Are there sport/team caps?
- Do more University Presidents cash in their chips and defund institutional support of college athletics. Maybe not so much at the P5 level. But at some point do schools like UNI want to continue subsidize college sport.
Are you unfamiliar with Hunter's story?
You expect us to believe KU reports their actual numbers?There aren't any players at Kansas making those kind of dollars in NIL. As of February, the total dollar amount of all athletes in all sports COMBINED was only around $500k.
Here's KU's report on the status of NIL deals as of February:
KU Sports
In the seven months since the NCAA made profiting on one’s name, image and likeness legal, athletes at the University of Kansas have cashed in on close to half a million dollars. KU Athletic Director Travis Goff on Thursday morning provided an update on KU’s NIL statistics to the Kansas...m.kusports.com
"In it, Goff said more than 80 different Jayhawks have brokered more than 170 total NIL deals since July 1 through the end of January. In addition, Goff said at least one athlete from all 17 of KU’s varsity sports had received an NIL opportunity and that the average transaction value per deal was $2,728.
“(That’s) heavily skewed by maybe the handful of five-figure men’s basketball deals,” Goff added. “Nothing in the six figures. Nothing that I think has been just at the forefront of progressive, so to speak, but we feel good having created a foundation of education with a strong lens toward compliance.”"
I am sure those numbers will go up after the barnstorming tour by the KU basketball team over the next month or so where the players get a portion of ticket sales as they tour small Kansas towns doing exhibitions etc... but no single basketball player is getting even close to $500k-$1 million.

This point doesn't track to the issue at hand. NIL hasn't played out yet, but it would seem to push power back to the elite and not the other way around.
The only hope is that the NIL bucks are not quite as plentiful at the top and they actually lose some bench talent to small $ elsewhere. Everyone will still be at risk for this poaching though.
Do you think it's less? Wouldn't they want to boast the highest amount possible for future athletes?
